WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.680 Hey guys, it's Riley from the video, and I just realized that I'm still filming the video. 00:00:05.680 --> 00:00:14.720 So actually, I can't do this part yet. The Trump administration has clarified that its 125% tariff on China was meant to be announced 00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:19.840 in addition to the 20% tariff Trump added as soon as he took office. 00:00:19.840 --> 00:00:26.720 So imports of Chinese goods are actually subject to 145% tariff for the next 00:00:27.680 --> 00:00:31.680 five minutes. Who knows? In response, China said, 00:00:31.680 --> 00:00:42.240 Hey, what the heck, we'll do one more too. And bumped their tariffs on U.S. imports up to 125% and threw in a jab in their official statement 00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:45.520 about the U.S. becoming an economic joke for good measure. 00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:51.200 These are massive tariffs for two countries whose supply chains are so interconnected, 00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:58.640 and they could lead to a product like the iPhone 16 Pro jumping from $1,000 to $3,500. 00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:03.120 According to this analyst, wearing a truly unhinged suit jacket, 00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:08.640 which frankly makes me question his credibility. Yet Bloomberg values his opinion. 00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:14.080 Apparently this is something that Dan Ives does, and everyone pretends is okay. 00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:20.560 Well, Apple expert Mark Gurman isn't pretending that iPhones could actually be made in the U.S. 00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:30.000 He says it isn't going to happen. But 404 Media points out that it's not impossible to make a phone, almost entirely in America, 00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:38.240 as proven by the Purism Liberty device, which has pretty outdated specs and costs $2,000 00:01:38.240 --> 00:01:43.520 while its made overseas sibling, the Librem 5, goes for $800. 00:01:43.520 --> 00:01:49.600 But it's possible if you're okay with your iPhone being sh*****. 00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:54.960 But who knows, maybe Tim Cook will manage to squeeze an iPhone tariff exemption out of Trump 00:01:54.960 --> 00:02:02.240 like he did back in 2019. Speaking of exemptions, China's tariffs will not apply to products with semiconductors that 00:02:02.240 --> 00:02:08.960 were fabricated in Taiwan, which is great news for AMD, NVIDIA, Qualcomm, and others. 00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:17.360 And not great news for non-Taiwan based fabs like Global Foundries, Texas Instruments, and yeah, 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:22.560 Intel. They don't need this, they're already losing ground to AMD in China. 00:02:23.200 --> 00:02:28.240 Interestingly, Intel's IPO feature, which allows some overclocking while maintaining 00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:32.720 warranty coverage, is now available only in China. 00:02:32.720 --> 00:02:37.680 You know, maybe let the rest of us have it. Intel, huh? You've really got nothing to lose. 00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:43.280 But privacy enthusiasts are about to lose it again because Microsoft says they're preparing to try 00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:49.360 again with the rollout of Windows Recall, the controversial AI feature that records everything 00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:53.760 you do. Microsoft was a little surprised by the backlash when they rolled it out initially. 00:02:53.760 --> 00:02:58.000 So after giving everyone some time to reset, they're flipping the switch again, 00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:04.880 you know, turning it on and off. That should fix it. That's not entirely fair. In the newest release preview build for Windows Insider, 00:03:04.880 --> 00:03:10.400 the feature requires users to opt in rather than opt out like the original, 00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:14.720 while pausing the feature and controlling what's captured is apparently easier. 00:03:14.720 --> 00:03:20.320 And Microsoft says the security protecting your Recall content is the same for any content you 00:03:20.320 --> 00:03:26.720 have on your Windows PC, a class of device, famously known for its bulletproof security. 00:03:26.720 --> 00:03:32.960 But even if someone's using the Fort Knox of PCs, some privacy advocates remain concerned, 00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:37.760 not about whether the primary user has consented to having all of their stuff recorded, 00:03:37.760 --> 00:03:44.800 but whether other people sending messages, info, I don't know, freaky pictures to that user 00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:48.480 have consented. Isn't there someone you forgot to ask? 00:03:48.480 --> 00:03:53.440 Also this week, Sam Altman announced that ChatGPT now has the ability to 00:03:53.440 --> 00:03:59.680 reference all your past conversations so AI can get to know you over your life, 00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:03.680 which is opt in by default, although you can turn it off. 00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:07.600 Now we're talking about AI systems who have proven, in research, 00:04:07.600 --> 00:04:11.520 that they can and will intentionally lie if they have a reason to. 00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:17.760 So just be aware, your AI assistant may have just gotten an upgraded ability to gaslight you. 00:04:17.760 --> 00:04:20.880 It's certainly true for me, I have the memory of a goldfish. 00:04:20.880 --> 00:04:26.880 Rain or shine, tariffs or no tariffs, the Shipstorm sale event will help you get a great 00:04:26.880 --> 00:04:32.880 deal at LTTstore.com.

Okay, I think that's it. 00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:57.280 Hey guys, it's Riley from the video, and crap, we haven't done the quick bits yet. 00:04:57.280 --> 00:05:04.400 I don't. How does this work? After delaying pre-orders due to the tariffs, Nintendo has now announced that the first 00:05:04.400 --> 00:05:11.120 pre-order invitations for the US and Canada will be sent out on May 8th to those chosen few 00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:16.240 who fulfill the pre-order requirements for the Switch 2, which include having a previous 00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:20.880 Nintendo Switch online subscription and a certain amount of play hours. The company is 00:05:20.880 --> 00:05:26.560 reportedly doing its best to avoid increasing the console's price any more with plans to 00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:33.120 redirect its supply streams to stay ahead of any sudden changes in tariffs that 00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:37.280 radically disrupt the global economy. That's just kind of how things are now. 00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:42.880 Thankfully, the Switch 2's pre-order requirements reduce the risk of scalping, 00:05:42.880 --> 00:05:46.880 but users on the Nintendo Switch 2 subreddit are also getting involved, 00:05:46.880 --> 00:05:52.800 reporting eBay listings for the Switch 2 since pre-sales of items that won't be shipped for 00:05:52.800 --> 00:06:08.400 40 days go against eBay's TOS. AMD has refreshed their Ryzen 7000HX mobile processors. The new 00:06:08.400 --> 00:06:15.680 Ryzen 8000HX series appears to be identical to their predecessors, with the only obvious difference 00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:22.880 as of now being a 0.1GHz higher boost clock on the Ryzen 98940HX. 00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:28.880 But maybe in this crazy tech world right now, we need a little stability. 00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:34.160 I'm not going to go through every new indie game announced in this year's 00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:39.600 triple-I initiative showcase, but I will call out the stranded clone colony game, 00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:44.800 the Alters, which is now coming out June 11th, Clover Pit, which is apparently 00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:48.960 the demonic love child of Bellatro and Buckshot Roulette. 00:06:49.840 --> 00:06:54.560 How could you say no? Morbid Metal is a hack and slash roguelite where you 00:06:54.560 --> 00:07:01.760 shape shift between characters in real time, and Seafood developer Slow Clap made Rematch, 00:07:01.760 --> 00:07:05.520 which you can think of as Rocket League, but without the cars. 00:07:06.080 --> 00:07:13.360 Chinese robot company Unitry has posted yet another video of their G1 robot engaged in combat. 00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:18.000 It's boxing this time. They seem weirdly obsessed with their robot's ability to 00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:23.200 fight humans. I don't know what's going on there, but I do know that this touchable 3D 00:07:23.200 --> 00:07:30.080 hologram developed by Spanish researchers uses rapidly vibrating elastic bands to both display 00:07:30.080 --> 00:07:36.480 and detect finger position. So you can stick your hand in there and move a virtual item around, 00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:41.200 as long as you're okay with holograms that feel like getting slapped by angry Jello. 00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:44.080 You thought I was going to do something else with that story, didn't you? 00:07:45.200 --> 00:07:48.960 But I wouldn't be angry at all if you came back on Monday for more tech news. 00:07:49.840 --> 00:07:53.600 If you don't come back, then well, then yeah, I will be angry. 00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:58.720 My personal feelings are entirely dependent upon external cues. It's more fun that way.
